I'm sorta back - still moving but getting there slowly. Had a screw-up with my internet connection for a few days as well, which hasn't helped. I'll be updating my blog very soon, as time and patience allows. I've got a lot to catch up on!

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Razorbill's doing well. He left, with a few others, when the CSI thing was starting up. I miss his and Lydgate's posts. Yesterday, I was wondering about the female police officer... blue something is her user name. I don't think she's posted in ages. I haven't seen dtwpuck or Longislander post lately either, but I did receive a PM from LI a while back.

Hey Alan, I don't know if you ment me when you said Wendy. But just in case it is me, i am fine have been on here almost everyday. Some times i do not sign in. I did leave during the CSI stuff because of not feeling to protected. I am back now and i too have noticed that a lot of people that where here when i became a member are not here now. I miss them, but i have found some of them on other sites. I almost left this site because of the fighting, and because for awhile it seemed that the only ones that were welcomed on here where people that are gay. I have nothing against any one no matter their sex or nationality but it felt like if you weren't gay then you were not wanted on here. I see now that i was wrong and i plan on staying on here for a very,very long time. I love this site and most of the people on this site.

I haven't seen Long Islander in awhile too. I thought when people were walking out during the CSI fiasco that they would be coming back.... I miss Chris and Amosboy, I wonder how they are doing...Has anyone heard from Skeebo?

Brian, (Quarterhorse) is in LOVE! and indeed has moved, has a new phone number, new e-mail address and is just as dizzy as ever. He called me one day to catch up, and was going to send me his new information, but we were interrupted while he was at work, and he has obviously forgotten about his promise as of yet. I still expect to hear from him soon, so I will let you all know when that happens. He still lives in Tenn.

Love,

The Bible contains 6 admonishments to homosexuals,and 362 to heterosexuals.This doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals, It's just that they need more supervision.Lynn Lavne

Funny you should ask Queen, I just heard from Skeebo on YIM a few minutes ago. He's got some news he wants to share with the forum - I'm waiting for an email from him with the details, which I'll post.

I don't really know Quarterhorse, but I still think that is the coolest news! I'm glad I dug this thread back up. It seems to have gotten a lot of play in the last few days. I especially thank John Oso for the photo link.

I was wondering about Skeebo myself, but I have noticed that LongIslander has been around lately...just fyi.

NB. Any advice about HIV is given in addition to your own medical advice and not intended to replace it. You should never make clinical decisions based on what anyone says on the internet but rather check with your ID doctor first. Discussions from the internet are just that - Discussions. They may give you food for thought, but they should not direct you to do anything but fuel discussion.
